Hi
I have 3 holes (about 1/2" dia) in the main floor cross beam seams at the tunnel. 2 forward and 1 at the back near the handbrake mounting.
No they are not rust, they look like they are meant to be there.
Does it have something to do with the fact that the engine/box is clubbie not Mini K.
Fill them with rubber grommets? Opinions please
I was going to attempt to supply pics but the batteries were flat.
Thanks

Obviously you have a rodchange box in it now. Those holes are for the Mini-K rear remote mounting bracket. :wink:
PLEASE don't weld them up (like PO of ours did... :x ) in case you want to fit the proper 4 synchro remote box sometime- just put 3 short bolts & nuts in. 8)

Thanks Doc
I thought that must be the case and no I won't have them welded up.
But why not some grommets? I thought they won't go rusty like nuts and bolts

Nuts and bolts don't go rusty back there.. it's pretty protected.
Grommets- OK if U got em... :wink:
